Inspired by "https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/395908/ ": I am using FreeBSD/TrueOS/DragonFly BSD and have some software from Ports that when run complains about a missing /etc/machine-id file. I do not see any such file in /etc. What is this file? Should I have it? How do I make it, if yes?
